a tangle with felipe massa saw him come off worst and he was sent for repairs, he finished tenth. vettel was heading in the other direction, and ferrari's home race he started from sixth and got up to third but that was as far as he got. hamilton ‘s biggest challenge was keeping his concentration. he only surrendered his lead for a couple of laps during pit stops and went on to become the first driver to win back—to—back races this season. and with his mercedes team at valtteri bottas finishing ahead of vettel hamilton noted the championship by three points. chris froome has finished the second week of the vuelta a espanaby extending his lead over vincenzo nibali. the tour de france champion finished fifth on stage 15, ahead of his closest rival, which means he now leads by one minute and one second, with six stages left. drew savage has the details. all smiles on the start line

tests, president trump has condemned the action and warned that the usa might stop trading with any country that does business with it. the un security council will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss an international response. so what are the options for the international community? james robbins has assessed the possible options. kimjong—un and his regime are simply refusing to bow to the outside world. why? well, partly because the regime is convinced its survival depends on having the ultimate weapon as insurance against outside attack. but already, the north koreans have such an array of conventional weapons that they could kill hundreds of thousands of people, and maybe that's why they have

ignored donald trump's warning to them last month. north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. but the fact is that north korea has not been stopped by that fiery rhetoric, and has now made a new threat which raises the question, can the west stop the north koreans? the us does have the means, the fire and fury. they could almost certainly destroy the regime eventually, but not before retaliation sparked appalling consequences for south korea, japan and the wider region. so could the world live with a nuclear—armed north korea? arguably, it may have to, and that would then mean relying on kimjong—un to be rational, and north korea to accept the old cold war restraint that any use of nuclear weapons guarantees mutually assured destruction. no wonder north korea's immediate neighbour china is pushing hard for international talks with the regime to find

as most other options are fraught with very severe possible consequences, i think in the end, one does come down to the line that this has got to be solved, unless you want catastrophe, by negotiation. but to some leading republicans, an american military response to all this looks inevitable. this was senator lindsey graham, talking hours before north korea's latest test. i am 100% certain that if kim jong—un continues to develop missile technology that can hit america, if diplomacy fails to stop him, there will be an attack by the united states against his weapon systems. the stakes with north korea have never been higher. the ultimate decision rests with president trump as america's commander—in—chief. earlier we spoke to

hamish de bretton gordon, a former british army officer and chemical weapons expert. he said kimjong—un had been severely underestimated and that action needed to be taken soon. everything that kim jong—un has said he will do in this nuclear crisis, he has done. and it's pretty clear that he now has an intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of over 4,000 kilometres that he can probably put
